I went with one of my best buds at 16 to check this same exact car out. At the time I was really all about Supra's and Rx7's. To me they just looked better photogenically and I enjoyed their curves much more. I had seen the Z in a lot of my Sport Compact Mags. I thought they were cool, but never really paid as much attention to them as I did the other two cars I mentioned. When I saw the Z in person, it was definitely love at first sight. Then I drove it.. I was simply hooked.. He managed to get a loan for the car before I did. A short time later he pulled the motor and added some mild bolt on parts and it never ran again lol It sat for a year after that and most of the stuff was hacked back together. He called me for weeks offering to sell it to me, lowering the price every time. Finally we met at a price and I picked it up. I ripped everything back out within a few months and got way in over my head on budget and skill level. YUP
